Coin Cell Batteries

Coin cell batteries are typically used in small electronic devices such as watches, calculators, hearing aids, toys, key fobs, and medical devices like glucose meters.

The lifespan of a coin cell battery depends on its type and usage. Generally, lithium coin cells can last 5-10 years, while silver oxide cells last 1-3 years, depending on the device's power consumption.

Coin cell batteries should not be thrown in the trash. They contain chemicals that can harm the environment. Instead, they should be taken to a local recycling centre that accepts batteries.

Lithium coin cells have a higher energy capacity and are often used in devices requiring a longer battery life, while silver oxide coin cells provide a stable voltage over a longer period, making them ideal for high-precision devices like watches and hearing aids.

No, coin cell batteries are not rechargeable. Attempting to recharge them can be dangerous and may cause leakage or rupture.

No, it’s important to use the correct battery type and size specified by the device manufacturer. Using an incompatible battery can cause damage or malfunction. Always check the battery model and voltage requirements.
